2016 Highlights2017-18 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I believe that attitude is one of the biggest aspects to making a winning team. Keeping your head up for good or bad reasons. Praising your team for good and encouraging them through their mistakes and your own. You don't have time to sulk because you have to shake it off and get the next point. It's all about attitude and how far you are willing to go to be the best in the sport you love. My goal is to be on a team where all the girls will go to any extent to get a win and also have a passion for the sport. We can all have talent but working hard because of your passion wins game in my opinion.
My twin sister is my best friend. Her name is Kitanna. We have played sports together from day one. There's never been a team we haven't tackled together. We are on the same JO team now and of course play high school volleyball together. We play well together, we know how the other plays and thinks. We feed off of each other. We'd love for the opportunity to play together in college if that fits the need of the team.
